DK28?

I got a PM from someone claiming that this rom can somehow upgrade a DK28 modem to a EC05 modem. This seems rather unlikely to me since there is no DK28->EC05 delta file known to exist nor any method of flashing a full modem from CWM.

Can anyone confirm this either way?

Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Correct. Currently that is IMPOSSIBLE. Right now the best we have is EB13 and DI18 to EC05...... If your on DK28 you'll need to odin the modem.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
This kernel is OC'd to 1200. You just need SetCPU to set it. By default it's stock.

Have you seen my tweak to the keyboard patch ptf? May be worth a look at adding, most report success with it :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
Handcent 3.8.2

I am running that on the journaling off rom without issue.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
Hmm well I guess there will be a 5.3 now thanks for more patches lol I'm glad I didn't do and flash 5.2 yet lol j/k but I do need to tho see new perks about it
[Epic 4G Android Development] eddieyee:
I tried downloading the EC05 (non pre rooted version) which is linked on lostandtried (in the instructions) and when I try to flash it via odin, it says the file "EC05 FULL.tar.md5" is invalid. I tried 3 different sites off the multiupload and each give me the same error (Tried Hotfile, Multiupload, and zShare).

Anybody else have any trouble preparing their phones for a full EC05 flash?
[Epic 4G Android Development] fredtw0:
Having the same issues - downloaded twice (Multiupload, megaUpload)

[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Just remove the .md5 at the end of the zip if you want to force it. This could be bad if the file is bad though. Try redownloading a new version.
[Epic 4G Android Development] leftkidney:
so I am running EXT4 4.2 BYOR edition with EB13 - not sure about journaling on/off with this version I dont think there was an option - but I want that this time

all I got to do is flash the 5.2 standard upgrade and then the "base only" one for the journaling on?

the midnight extras folder - I download that separate this time, its not created after the flash like it was with 4.2?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
This is how I would get to where you want to be:

Goto http://www.lostandtired.com (check out Rob's blog)

Click Android Development at the top

Choose your flavor of v5.2 EXT4.

midNIGHT ROM v5.2 Journaling ON (BYOR) EXT4/CW3 (BASE ONLY)

midNIGHT ROM v5.2 Journaling OFF (BYOR) Base ONLY

download the one you want - the differences between those two have been discussed many times in this and the other midnight thread.

then download

midNIGHT ROM Extras v5

(open it with 7Zip http://www.7-zip.org/download.html and copy standard upgrade.zip file, it is recommended to use 7zip and not the windows zip functionality as android doesn't like zips touched by windows zip)

then download

midNIGHT ROM v5.2 Standard Upgrade.zip

download

EB13 to EC05 modem flash

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1012384

Copy all the zips to the sd card.

(v5.2 ROM, v5 Standard Upgrade, v5.2 standard upgrade and modem flash)

boot to recovery

create a nandroid backup (selected backup and restore, then backup)

wipe data, partition cache and dalvik cache 3 times each

click your heels three times and say there is no rom like midnight rom

Now

flash v5.2 ROM zip (this takes a little bit of time)

flash standard upgrade.zip taken out of the midnight extras download

flash v5.2 standard upgrade.zip

for me; I would reboot here and setup your phone.

Just to be sure that all is working ok up to this point.

before downloading any apps I'd boot back to recovery

I'd make a backup again now that you're at 5.2 using eb13 modem

once done

(no wiping of anything needed)

flash the eb13 to ec05 modem

reboot

and you can now install your apps and set them up.

HIGHLY recommended to NOT restore apps and their data, just download refresh.

Yes a little more work at first but takes out so many variables if something does act a little whacky.

click thanks on OP for rob, click thanks on bonsai thread ... Enjoy midNight

Hope that helps
[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
Well I don't think he should have to download standard upgrade bc I believe it come in extras folder only reason I say this is bc I just dl like 2 days ago. Other than that well explain I believe
[Epic 4G Android Development] Overstew:
Great ROM. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] leftkidney:
I thought I didnt need to odin the EC05 mocem? - doesnet it get installed with 5.2 if you are on DI18 or EB13? - I am on EB13
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
Yes it should; you can check that after you're done with the ROM stuff to make sure. I have heard some say that it didn't update. Wanted to cover everything for you.

If baseband says ec05 then you're good and can skip that step.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Alright guys, don't flame me...I read the OP. I have been running Midnight 5 w/ journal without one issue at all. What are the main improvements in 5.2?
[Epic 4G Android Development] dito33:
Jurnaling ON is not doing it's job. I'm on 5.1 with ext4 and batt was getting low while media scan just about to finish I properly turn the phone off and could not boot without errors fc on everything. I went back to the latest backup but hey what the heck. I am thinking going back to rfs permanently.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
5.1 is known to be a little flakey, revert to 5 or move to 5.2
[Epic 4G Android Development] bosshawg:
Green Battery Level Indicator

All of a sudden my phone is displaying a green battery level indicator on the top left side of the screen. If I pull down the drop down it gives me the battery level and a percentage. It is also reporting the battery health and temperature info.

I have not installed any apps that are batter monitoring in nature. Anyone see this before and know how to get it off my screen/device.

As always thanks in advance!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] kgbcapthowdy:
does this rom have infrastructure wireless tether?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
Any new widgets or apps at all?

I'd remove anything new and see if it goes away. It is going to have to be a process of elimination.

you might check settings -> applications -> manage applications -> running, maybe something might popout to you.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sloheim:
Deleted....
[Epic 4G Android Development] thegameksk:
Whats the difference between ext4 and RFS?? Which is better??
[Epic 4G Android Development] bosshawg:
Thanks much for for your thoughts. I tried much of that with no success. I ended up blowing down a nandroid I happened to have from a few days ago. Problem went away for now. Ill post an update in the event the problem pops up again.

Thanks much.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sloheim:
Are there any circle battery mods that work with this ROM? Not looking for a full theme... just the battery mod. Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] 30bushido1:
i believe there's an app in the market that does just that...
[Epic 4G Android Development] budderocks:
There are a few mods at the Android Development section of lostandtired.com
[Epic 4G Android Development] sloheim:
Right... but those look like full-blown themes. I'm looking for just the battery mod.

In the past, with other ROMs, I've been able to find a post with many different circle battery mods that were compatible. Wondering if there is anything similar for midnightROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bgchz:
This is a super solid super stable rom. I've been considering this rom for two weeks and finally decided to do it. Just make sure and get the extras zip! Great job dude!
[Epic 4G Android Development] bgchz:
If you go to the op website, he has the battery mods listed clear as day. It's like 3 or 4
[Epic 4G Android Development] sloheim:
CLEAR AS DAY, those are listed in a section called "Themes for EC05". I'm not looking for a full theme. Just the battery mod.
[Epic 4G Android Development] socalsfinest93:
They are just battery mods not full themes
[Epic 4G Android Development] sloheim:
Thanks socals... thats the answer I was looking for.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ungovernable1977:
Great release, been running it since release.. had the same .md5 prob, cant remember if I just added the victory.pit to the mix or just found another file... hope people got it figured out. One question, think this mentioned 'no checkerboarding'... I did see the checkerboard for a split second once since release... so I am wondering, is this nefarious checkerboarding just part of the browser to tell you its still loading, so the more efficient it can run the less you SEE the checkerboard, hence it not being a BUG but a disliked, yet intended aspect of the browser?? Just wondering, saw bunch of rave reviews for the new browser... think ive found new features... just wondered why the checkerboarding was a panty-buncher...
[Epic 4G Android Development] troy22:
i have horrible battery life with this rom. today ive been using it with medium usage and and battery jump from 50 to 13% after i rebooted the phone bc the phone calls weren't going through. what is going on?
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Calibrate your battery by charging to 100% with the phone off, then entering CWM and wiping battery stats.
[Epic 4G Android Development] troy22:
ok i have done that before but every time i go to wipe stats nothing shows... no txt confirm that i have deleted the stats so im pretty sure it isnt deleting correctly
[Epic 4G Android Development] ungovernable1977:
Hey K0nane- is this the 'No checkerboard' browser??

'AOSP modded Browser (VERY,VERY big Thanks to k0nane)' Is this the same as the 'cm6 modded' one from SRF???

Just wondering... the browser in this rom hauls... just wondering if the checkerboarding was normal, just that if running fast enough, you shouldnt ever see it... (see post above)? I know this is an ACS thing, but that thread is a bit much... ill search there, but people seem to see things quicker here... thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] scottyd035ntknow:
Hey all, been running this rom for a few days and I have to say I am impressed. Was on ACS but I kept having all sorts of issues with the newest version due to my phone not liking the undervolt. Tried Viper, hated the theme and then went to this and wow, very nice. This rom FLIES and absolutely 0 issues with running at 1.2ghz all day. Battery life is good, everything opens fast, the browser hauls (when on wifi, sprint 3g service around here is really leaving something to be desired...), no checkerboarding and no CIQ either.

Only suggestions I'd have is to include the google news widget and maybe try to kick up the 3G speeds a little if possible by removing the throttling.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dito33:
Switched 5.1 to 5.2 and the stock batt with % is gone now. The batt mods I found got like 5.5mb or so is that what it takes to change to % I stick with reg stock batt.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ungovernable1977:
Are u talking about 'news and weather'? I THINK it is in the extras folder, and the governor, I THINK has been gone for a long time, may wanna check they midnight journal off thread, as this is basically the same, or sign up for Bonsai's site, as I think thats a kernel level tweak.... otherwise, someone should have an answer. Could always RoamControl onto VZ like I do... I get crap for sprint at my house, but everywhere else its awesome... Yeah, This is definately the most stable ROM, I try the others for fun, but always come back here...
[Epic 4G Android Development] ungovernable1977:
If they are the ones on lostandtired.com I think you found em
[Epic 4G Android Development] dito33:
Thanks for the compliment and your are from where?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ungovernable1977:
Huh? Swype puke? Sorry just dont know what youre saying...
[Epic 4G Android Development] dito33:
Must be I swype a couple of beers.
[Epic 4G Android Development] troy22:
My battery seems to drain even when the phone is locked.. is this normal?
[Epic 4G Android Development] beeroatsnp90x:
After wiping my butthole several times I still have FCs from the ghost of roms past. Gonna try and odin to stock then flash this.

does anyone get a FC when entering a number in the dialer and then pressing the messaging icon?
[Epic 4G Android Development] dito33:
All good here even I pulled the batt in the middle of something just to see if journaling working no problem so far really good job done.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
Might be something funky like a sd card; try pulling everything off, formatting the card and copying your stuff back on.

Phone can act pretty weird because of it, hope you have better luck this time through.
[Epic 4G Android Development] beeroatsnp90x:
Reformatted sdcard as suggested. The phone still FC when in dialer and selecting the message icon.

Has there been any patches or bugfixes released?
[Epic 4G Android Development] pimpin oh boy:
i just downloaded this rom and it works but when ever i download a app from the market the phone reboots does anyone else have this problem and is there a fix
[Epic 4G Android Development] scottyd035ntknow:
I've had no such issues. I run all my apps from the phone (see no point in using sdcard space since not using the space on the phone means it is just wasted) and I run from a fresh odin/root every time I install a rom. For this one, I odin'd rooted with CWM3 and installed. Runs super smooth and I love the theme. Only complaint I have is the 3G speeds are not as fast as they were on Frozen and no Geniewidget but I really don't use the data much when not at home anyway and I can get multiple news widgets to replace google...
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
I have been using Midnight 5 w/journal since day 1 with themes, Vision and Genocide kernels at 1.4 without a single problem. What are the benefits of 5,2? Please....
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
New kernel and some more fixes; I went from 5 (to 5.1 briefly, then back to 5) to 5.2. It does seem snappier
[Epic 4G Android Development] Paleryder:
I just odined back to ECO5 and the ROM appears to be stock but i have a superuser icon and am still rooted weird huh? thoughts?

i used http://www.multiupload.com/YLWNL9GMCZ
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
What thread did you get the EC05 from? There are two on here (i think) that are stock + prerooted and a couple other added options to get you closer to using a custom ROM / Theme
[Epic 4G Android Development] Paleryder:
Iuse the one from Midnights site for stock EC05 odin flashback
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Ok buddy, I think you may have convinced me to step it up
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
Hmmm, it does say not-prerooted and you didn't run any 1 click root process.

What does the about phone information say??

firmware, baseband,kernel and build number?

Not sure why that app is there, if all the about phone info is good, just uninstall superuser. if not :

You could also try to Odin to DI18 stock and use the OTA to get to EC05.

EC05 ODIN MD5 Fails

The links from the Midnight site for EC05 odin, fail their MD5 check.
[Epic 4G Android Development] scottyd035ntknow:
They do, I just use the EB13 odin and let it OTA in 5 minutes so whatevs.

Also, I am getting REALLY slow 3G speeds with this ROM. I thought it was location but reception is worse in known good spots for my phone, PRL did not change etc... I know Sprint 3G speeds are all wonky especially around me but I would usually see 300-500 down at LEAST at all times. It doesn't break 100 down sometimes with Midnight... really hope it isn't the rom because I like this rom...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
They are themes too
[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
Check out theimpaler747's sig he's a mod on here him and a few buddy's made this app to allow u to mod ur battery icon in to different ones check it out sounds pretty sweet
[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
See I'm scared to use roam bc of the fact with sprints hidden charges on it. Say if u go over 800 mins roaming they can shut ur phone off. Or the 300mb data same the and mins don't bother me but that data cap does bc with data roam and phone set up to data in back ground and so on idk how quick 300mb will go. Ne idea and also hows this roam control even work I'm curious
[Epic 4G Android Development] scottyd035ntknow:
Agreed, although I am on boost so I can't roam off Sprint's towers at all unless I pay with a card lol. This is fine tho since I get Sprint (boost) service everywhere around here anyway. For those who get junk service at home, just turn on wifi and use google voice to make calls using the data. No minute usage and good wifi easily outpaces everything else. My Epic goes strait to plaid when I turn on the FiOS.

edit: I checked the extras and did not see the genie widget and this rom's data speeds are still very slow. I might try ACS again with a kernel my phone actually likes to do some speed comparisons...
[Epic 4G Android Development] scottyd035ntknow:
Update:

I loaded up ACS Frozen with the Genocide kernel and I am seeing speeds 200-400kbps higher in the same locations and it was only 15-20 minutes later... Not sure what is up there but one of the bullets that the ACS thread has is something along the lines of "maxed out speed".
[Epic 4G Android Development] neuton:
I am currently on the 5.2 midnight and everything is working ok but for some reason I am having issue with my txt messaging. It gives me an invalid number error code 9230 saying that it needs the 10 digit number to txt? But I know before I didn't need to do that and even when I went into my contacts and added the area code to the contact I am txting it still just shows the 9 digits in the txt messaging window? I can receive the message from the person just find but wont let me write back unless i click on forward and pick the person's name again so it adds the 10 digits?

Anyone know if its a flash issue or is there something I need to do to fix it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] chuhsi:
Interesting. My data speeds have always been low and inconsistent. Maybe i'll switch roms to see if there's a difference.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mutiny32:
Just want to say thanks again for the awesome work on this ROM and to keep it up!:)
[Epic 4G Android Development] eddieyee:
Try this genie widget. I had trouble with an older version, and this one seemed to work for me. I seriously can't figure out why this isn't included. It's very useful, and works great.
[Epic 4G Android Development] epicslam:
I can log into the facebook app but when i use the facebook widget from touchwiz it wont let me login to facebook or twitter. i can only sync with google. i redid the rom again wipped everything three times....
[Epic 4G Android Development] 2girls1cup:
the flashed swype beta expired. Does anyone have a copy of the newest one or a solution?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ungovernable1977:
All I really know of how Roam Control works is that it forces either roam, sprint, or automatic (default)... The Dev is very active on XDA, and really cool... you could probly site search for him. Do you have a link to the policy of roam mins and data caps?? Asked if it was unlimited, told me yes, I told them I get **** reception here, my 'file' is tagged for a free 'signal booster' (use MY home internet, not a good solution), but I dont have good enough credit for a 'third line' on my account, even though the minitower isnt even a phone. Ill have to check, I highly doubt I use that much of either roaming, its basically so I have service in case of emergency or important calls... really sucks sitting on hold with whoever just to have sprint drop the call once they come on the line. Dont get me wrong, I love sprint service, but my location is on one of those areas that are wrong on their 'coverage map'... so whats a boy to do...?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
Sign up for the beta; they'll send you a link that you go to on your phone and it will install. Just uninstall the old one first.

Good luck
[Epic 4G Android Development] thegameksk:
I am having 2 problems with this rom. First is terrible battery life and ive calibrated my battery. With older versions of midnight rom I was getting great battery life now im lucky if it lasts 8 hrs on light usage. Another problem is I cant make calls. Everytime I try to I get a message saying I am not authenticated to make calls. Only way I can make calls is if I update my profile and pol under settings. I am forced to do this everytime I want to make a call. Can anyone help?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
I've not had any of these issues, sucks that you're having trouble.

How did you flash 5.2 Journaling Off?

Are you running any themes?

Do you have Bluetooth on always and gps, how about wifi?
[Epic 4G Android Development] lsujim:
I'm loving this ROM. Thank you. It has everything I've wanted (ext 4, journaling on, CIQ gone). I tried the other ROMs and I just hated having to restore from a backup whenever something crashed on my phone because Journaling was off.

I'm getting checkerboarding on the default browser. Any ideas why this is happening?

Thank you!!!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] scottyd035ntknow:
I'm back on this rom after issues with another. I will say it runs very smooth and the bonsai Kernel makes movies play with literally no hiccups. Even the Genocide kernel would get a stutter every once in a blue moon. I have no checkerboarding but the only real issue is that sometimes the GB keyboard will FC when opening the slider to go to the actual physical one. Just hit close and forget about it but it is a little annoying. I suppose I could just go back to swype since I hardly ever use the touchscreen keyboard anyway.

Oh, and very rarely, when I unlock the phone, the dialer randomly is there on the screen, not the last thing I was doing. No idea here...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Overstew:
I was using 4G at work for Pandora and I turned 4G off then closed out of Pandora and my 3G wouldn't come back. It showed I had signal, but not 3G. I tried loading the browser and it said internet connection isn't available. Then I turned WiFi on, connected to my router, turned it back off, then my 3G returned. I'm using MattleBlue theme with MidNIGHT rom v5.2. Let me know if they're incompatible or something. I really love both the ROM and theme. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] xeonbuilder:
Anyone getting a little crackling sound from the earpiece? any chance my phone might have a jacked up earpiece or is it the rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] the_dark_knighton:
No, your earpiece is good. I've been on a few roms and they have all done it. Not sure what causes it, I have that problem too.

This is probably one of the cleanest roms out right now. I had problems with ACS, cm7 is still way too buggy. I'm running 5.2 no journaling with cynox blue theme. It's clean and no major issues. Good work
[Epic 4G Android Development] zenvita:
I just flashed this Rom yesterday and have found 0 issues. You may want to redownload and start over.
